Commenting on the tie-up with Fast Track, Higgins said: "SHC's acquisition by Fast Track offers the company extra resource and exciting opportunities to grow the business through the contacts and expertise that exists within both Fast Track and the wider Chime Group".

It is envisaged that SHC will join forces with Fast Track at its London offices in February 2008.

The full SHC team, under the continued guidance of Higgins, will be making the move.
